{WHITE TO MOVE: 1.Nd1!! The best move without a doubt. White's Knight
retreat,though odd looking, stops Black's ...Ng5 (White's Queen now hits that
square) and prepares to swing the Knight around to c3 where it takes aim at
Black's loose pawn on b5. Black can save his pawn by moving his b4-Knight and
pushing the b-pawn to b4, but that leaves a once-active Knight on a poor
square, and also creates a hole on c4. (Anand-Kamsky, Las Palmas Match 1995).
